Sacramento, CA...The Bureau of Reclamation and the San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority today finalized federal and state environmental reports that analyze potential impacts of approving water transfers to increase water reliability for those suffering shortages during dry times. The long-term transfers would send water from willing sellers north of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta to water users south of the Delta through 2024. The transfers could occur through various methods, including groundwater substitution, cropland idling, reservoir releases and conservation.

|
Posted by: thepinetree on 10/11/2019 01:38 PM
|
Sacramento, CA...California is expanding its red flag gun law. Governor Newsom signed AB 61, a bill by Assemblymember Phil Ting (D-San Francisco), which gives more people access to a court process that could temporarily take away someone’s firearms through a Gun Violence Restraining Order (GVRO), if they pose a danger to themselves or others. Ting’s law enables educators, employers and co-workers to also use the tool. Current law only allows law enforcement and immediate family members to file a GVRO.

President Trump on Withdrawal of Troops From Syria |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 10/07/2019 04:18 PM
|
Washington, DC...President Trump via Twitter..."As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!). They must, with Europe and others, watch over the captured ISIS fighters and families. The U.S. has done far more than anyone could have ever expected, including the capture of 100% of the ISIS Caliphate. It is time now for others in the region, some of great wealth, to protect their own territory. THE USA IS GREAT!"
